Kryptonian

Kryptonian or Kryptonese is language or the fictional planet
Krypton, birthplace of Superman. The language appears in writing
in the Superman comics at first as random squiggles. Then during the
1970s E. Nelson Bridwell created an alphabet of 118 letters, Kryptonese,
from the squiggles.

In 2000 DC Comics introduced a transliteration alphabet containing
symbols for each of the letters of the English alphabet. They also started
referring to the language as 'Kryptonian'. They just used this alphabet to
write things in English in the comics. A more complex version of
Kryptonian alphabet appears on the TV show Smallville.
